The establishment is giddy about the Rubio strong showing. They now have their man. They were scared to death that they were thinking they might have to ride with Trump. Those fears are over. Rubio is going deep in this race and might just win.

Get used to it. From now all the left and the GOPe along with the MSM especially Fox news are going to pimp Rubio night and day.

Trump needs to forget Cruz who has no shot and go after Rubio like a Duck on a June bug.

We shall see - I really can't stand Rubio because to me he is a phony and just speaks the corporate line.

I can't always agree with Trump but he is authentic as his own man. Cruz is authentic about his ideals probably because he was raised that way by his holy roller dad. Rubio? To me Rubio calculated that the GOP needs a token hispanic and he is Cuban and that was his way in and he could get far playing that hispanic card.

I can live with Rubio. Just too tired to try to live with Trump. Had enough of that man and his ego.

Why don’t you save the retarded attempt at covering for not having a point, and explain to me where I’m wrong.

Or are you just going to let out another stream of smarmy non-answers in hope that will work?

“I’m an adult...i don’t have time to engage you”

Please. What a load.

Immigration - immigration - immigration. If we don't stop the immigration tsunami now then demographically we lost our country forever. Europeans are not coming to the USA any longer because they have it good there and our economy can no longer support a family of kids on two incomes let alone one like the past.

I will fight for Trump as long as the wall is going up.

If you think the GOP e is that powerful, you are just stuck in the past. If you think the GOP e is more worried about Trump than Cruz, you are delusional. If you think the GOP e is in as strong a position this cycle as the DNC you are off your meds.

If you think that either a Trump or Cruz win this cycle will resemble anything like 2008 and 2012 then you have no ability to analyze why’s and wherefore’s and nuance - basically it means you are totally shallow in your synopsis.

And your’e wrong on Rubio: he outspent Cruz in Iowa. But again, why you can’t see that the establishment is losing - that Rubio is a desperate attempt on their part - that the 3-4 REALLY estab candidates are in the 1’s and 2’s....shows a lack of insight on your part.

“If you think the GOP e is that powerful, you are just stuck in the past”

If you think they are not, you are careless, and foolish.

Jeb was a poor candidate. Rubio is smart enough to play ball and he gets praise from people like Limbaugh. He also isn’t damaged severely from the fight so far.

If you want to pretend that Cruz has some special magic or pious guidance, then by all means keep up the smugness.
He is also getting big praise from the MSM.

Garbage, TPP is basically a shoe-in because of TPA. When cruz pushed TPA through congress he basically said "we have to pass TPA so we can find out what is in TPP".

Enjoy another week off. And be prepared to get the ban-hammer if you persist in this level of personal attacks ever again.

Headline for this post is not the headline for the article. Gives an false impression not backed by anything but personal opinion.

That poster and those like him will be major contributing factors to Hillary getting elected vis a vis Trump. Cruz, unfortunately, at present, doesn’t stand a chance of becoming POTUS.
